RAIN AND WET ROCK The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. MORE INFO >>>

Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN MOAB during or after rain.

Well the second pitch is one of the best splitters around. What I am curious about is: since when do we simply rename a route cause it went free????? Can you just imagine the uproar if we renamed all the routes on El Cap or in Zion for example just cause they have now been freed???? IMHO I totally disagree with this tactic, especially out of respect to those who put up the route.

Ya, imagine the uproar that would tear it's way thru the Valley if someone free'd the classic East Face of Washington Column and then re-named it something silly like "Astroman"............ not defending this practice, but i feel anybody who calls Astroman by that name, and not Hardings original name, should stop whining about Potter re naming a route unless they would like to also like to whine about Bachar, Kauk, and Long doing the same. Most people still call "playing Hooky" by it's original name, Concepcion is the only one that really stuck with the new name in the Moab area.
